First, your signature animation must
be uploaded to a server online, and you must have the URL (online address) of
the image.Click here to
learn how!

Sign into your hotmail account. At the top of
the screen you should see a row of buttons like the following; click on the
"Options" button:

Next, under "Additional Options", click on
"Signature":

Now this is the part where you need to know the
online address where your signature image is stored. So if you haven't
found out yet, now is the time to do it. Once you have the address, type
the following into the signature box in Hotmail:

<img src="YOUR IMAGE URL
HERE">

Where YOUR IMAGE URL HERE should be replaced with
the URL of your picture.

For example, if the URL of my picture was

http://www.geocities.com/boyohboy9/signature.gif

Then this is what I would put into the signature
box in Hotmail:

After you have done that, click "OK".

Next, click on "Compose" at the top, as you would
to write any other email to a person:

Go ahead and type in the email address of the
person you want to send an email to, or if you want you can even send it to
yourself since this is just a test.

Then, make sure the box that says "Rich Text
Format" is checked; you may have to wait for a few seconds for a small toolbar
to appear in the email area (do not type anything until the toolbar
appears!):

Compose your email, or leave it blank if you wish,
since it's just a test.

Click on the "Add Signature" button, and if
everything was done correctly, your signature should appear at the end of your
email:

And there you are! Whenever you compose an email,
just make sure that the "Rich Text Format" box is checked, and your image will
show up whenever you click on "Add Signature."
